Memoirs Found in a Bathtub
I wanted to read Memoirs Found in a Bathtub by Stanislaw Lem because it was the latest selection by The Sword and Laser Podcast. I skipped their last 2 selections and really wanted to try this one. I tried. I tried. I tried. I got about 70 pages into it and quit. I decided to go ahead a finish it, but once I read another 2 or 3 pages I couldn’t do it anymore. I just hated it.
It takes place in 3149 after some kind of plight has destroyed most of the paper in the world. The book is basically somebody’s memoirs that were found preserved in volcanic rock. It’s a lot of gibberish and paranoia crap that I didn’t feel like reading. From what I’ve read, 1 of the Sword and Laser hosts didn’t like this book either.
The next Sword and Laser selection is The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. I’ll be skipping it because I’ve already read it several times. Hoping that I like the next book that I try.
